About the role

Syngenta Group seeks a senior crop sciences leader to drive GM/GE trait pipelines and oversee cross-functional teams in controlled environments, advancing maize and soybean projects from concept to milestones. You will lead year-round stock production for high-quality embryos, manage facility upgrades, and drive improvements in pipelines while ensuring HSE and regulatory compliance. Strong leadership and cross-functional collaboration are required.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
